Sustainability at adesso

For us, sustainability starts close to home: at our offices, in our projects, and in the everyday actions of our employees. As part of the adesso Group, we take responsibility across all ESG dimensions—environmental, social, and governance—and align our business operations with ecological, social, and ethical principles.

Independent certifications confirm that we are pursuing this goal in a structured and credible way:

These standards form the foundation for our ongoing activities in the areas of environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance.

We are deeply committed to climate protection and follow clearly defined environmental management standards. Our efforts focus on five key action areas:

• Sustainability in our core processes: We consider environmental impact in all our services—from customer projects to managed operations.
• Energy efficiency and resource conservation: We design our workplaces sustainably – using electricity from renewable sources and managing resources responsibly.
• Sustainable mobility: We encourage eco-friendly commuting and climate-conscious travel practices.
• Green infrastructure and work culture: We promote recycling, eliminate disposable materials, and foster a paperless working environment.
• Social environmental engagement: We support organizations such as OceanCare, integrate sustainability into our events, and motivate our employees to contribute through donations.

At adesso Switzerland, people are at the heart of everything we do. Our social initiatives focus on three key areas:

• Work culture and community
• Health and well-being
• Further training and personal development

Through these initiatives, we foster a work environment that supports individual growth, strengthens our community, and makes a positive impact on society as a whole.

Responsible corporate governance is a cornerstone of sustainability at adesso Switzerland. Our Code of Conduct provides a binding framework for ethical behavior and integrity across all areas of our business. It applies to every employee and manager within the adesso Group and defines clear expectations for our daily conduct.

Our governance principles are based on four key pillars:

• Ethical and honest business conduct – zero tolerance for corruption or unfair advantage
• Transparency, accountability, and compliance with regulatory standards
• Reliable protection of data, information, and intellectual property
• Respects for human rights, diversity, and fair working conditions

These principles are embedded in our company and reinforced through regular training and audits. This builds trust among our employees, clients, and partners and contributes to a more sustainable and responsible economy.
